This year representatives of 35 countries competed in 11 categories with 293 samples. A necessary condition for participation in the international competition is a victory for the company in the national competition, so the jury was presented with the best packaging from these countries.

Industry experts, board members of WPO and representatives of 19 professional associations of packaging had studied the submitted samples for more than two months, evaluating them on their technological level, innovative solutions, the quality of workmanship, and original design.

“Victory in the competition is especially honorable in that it awarded the best world-class professionals. We are for the 19th time winning in an international competition and traditionally dedicate this victory to our partners and customers. Together we develop new technologies, original packaging solutions and grow professionally,” says Irina Mirochnik, the Chairman of the Board of PC UKRPLASTIC.
